Lyrics

[Verse 1]

One of these days and it won't be long

You gonna look for me and I'll be gone

'Cause I believe (I believe, yes, I believe)

I say I believe right now (I believe, yes, I believe)

Well, I believe to my soul, now (Oh)

You're tryin' to make a fool of me, now

(I believe it, I believe it)

[Verse 2]

Well, you're goin' 'round here

With your head so hard

I think I'm gonna have to use my rod

'Cause I believe (I believe, yes, I believe)

I say I believe right now (I believe, yes, I believe)

Well, I believe to my soul, now (Oh)

You're tryin' to make a fool of me, now

(I believe it, I believe it)

[Verse 3]

Last night you were dreamin'

And I heard you say

"Oh, Johnny," when you know

My name is Ray

That's why I believe right now

(I believe, yes, I believe)

I say I believe right now (I believe, yes, I believe)

Whoa, whoa (Whoa), I believe to my soul, now

You're tryin' to make a fool of me, now

(I believe it)
